I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Thank You, Senior, For Your Help

Jianglu didn’t have time to think about it and immediately rushed out of the hall. As soon as he left the hall, he soared into the sky. He didn’t prepare anything that he needed on the way and flew in the direction of the Immortal’s Destiny Small Shop at his fastest speed.

…

“Senior, I really want to learn calligraphy from you at all costs.”

Lou Hongzhi bowed in front of the Immortal’s Destiny shop with a sincere face, and his tone was very sincere.

Liu Changgong was very helpless.

He was not good at teaching calligraphy.

Even his calligraphy was only learned when he was doing missions completed by the system.

For example, signing in, watching the sunrise ten times, or climbing mountains.

Every time he completed a mission, the system would give him strange rewards.

By the time he came back to his senses, he had already learned calligraphy.

After he had entered the sect, he had to practice repeatedly to gain experience from the system.

What was there to teach in practice? That Lou Hongzhi didn’t have the system’s key to getting him into the sect!

Liu Changgong admitted that he wasn’t cut out to be a teacher.

Moreover, that person seemed to be a cultivator, and a sword cultivator at that.

That sword cultivator didn’t practice the sword. It was unknown what was wrong with him. It was like a pervert seeing a naked beauty. He pestered Liu Changgong to learn calligraphy all day long, which made Liu Changgong very annoyed.

Because of the earnest look in his eyes, Liu Changgong felt his heart was in a panic.

He was only a mortal. If he taught a cultivator calligraphy, he might not even be able to learn it. Wouldn’t that be a hindrance to the other party’s cultivation?

If he delayed the other party’s cultivation and let him discover that he did not know how to teach, if he were to get angry, his small body would not be able to withstand the sharp longsword on his back.

If he failed to teach, he would be cut down instead. Who would he find to reason with?

Therefore, Liu Changgong also said earnestly, “You should be a cultivator.”

Lou Hongzhi was stunned and replied stiffly, “That’s right.”

Liu Changgong was too embarrassed to say that he might not be able to teach him calligraphy. He only advised tactfully, “Since you are a cultivator, then cultivate well. What calligraphy do you want to learn from a mortal like me?”

“You are still young. You should think about what is most important to you. In the future, when your cultivation is high and your progress is slow, then you will find time to study these calligraphy.”

When Lou Hongzhi heard Liu Changgong’s words, the disappointment on his face could not be hidden.

He felt very bitter in his heart.

Sure enough, that Senior Liu felt that his talent was not worthy of his eyes and that he was not worthy to be his disciple.

It was normal. Senior Liu’s cultivation level was high, and he had already reached the realm of returning to origin.

If a big shot like Senior Liu wanted to take in a disciple, he would definitely take in a genius with outstanding talent, great potential, and rare in ten thousand years.

Although Lou Hongzhi was very proud, he understood that his talent was not at the level of ‘hard to come by in ten thousand years’.

In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, his talent could be considered a ‘genius’. However, Lou Hongzhi knew his own limitations. He understood that his cultivation conditions were only better than ordinary people.

If it wasn’t for his parents sending him to the Dao Constellation Palace when he was young, and the Sect Master of the Dao Constellation Palace giving him a lot of training, how could he have his current achievements?

If he were a genius, he wouldn’t have been stuck in the way of the sword for so many years. He would have been unimpeded all the way to be worthy of the title of genius.

Lou Hongzhi knew clearly that he only had the ‘obsession’ praised by his Master.

After thinking about it, Lou Hongzhi made up his mind.

He gave up his dignity and knelt in front of Liu Changgong. He kowtowed a few times, giving Liu Changgong a big scare.

Lou Hongzhi said to Liu Changgong firmly, “I know that my talent is not worthy of Senior’s eyes, but my sincerity in learning calligraphy can be seen by the sun and moon. Even if Senior doesn’t teach me anything, as long as Senior allows me to stay by Senior’s side, I am willing to be a slave and serve Senior. Or, let me clean the toilet.”

“I hope Senior will grant it!”

With that, Lou Hongzhi lay on the ground, prostrating himself on the ground and kowtowing non-stop.

To show his sincerity, Lou Hongzhi did not dare to use his spiritual power. The sharp gravel on the ground mercilessly cut his forehead.

In just a few breaths, Lou Hongzhi’s forehead was covered in blood.

Liu Changgong was shocked.

This, which family’s silly child was this? He was a cultivator after all. Why did he have no bottom line in doing things and speak without restraint?

He said he would be his slave…

To learn calligraphy to such an extent, just like the fanatical fans in his previous life, Liu Changgong admitted that he did not have such courage.

Liu Changgong’s face was full of helplessness.

Liu Changgong had a feeling that if he let it go, Lou Hongzhi would die in his courtyard.

Liu Changgong was just a weak mortal, and he could not pull that cultivator. If someone died and the family behind them came looking for him, he would not be able to deal with it.

Liu Changgong stopped him:

“I agree. Hurry up and get up. Don’t think too hard. The treatment is more important.”

Lou Hongzhi heard Liu Changgong’s voice, and his face was full of joy. He couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart, and his voice was choked with sobs.

“Thank you for your help, Senior.”

After saying that, Lou Hongzhi became excited, but he didn’t use his spiritual power to kowtow to Liu Changgong.

Liu Changgong really couldn’t accept Lou Hongzhi giving him such a big gift.

This world wasn’t a feudal world, so very few people kowtowed.

As a cultivator, Lou Hongzhi was probably an old monster that was hundreds or thousands of years old, and Liu Changgong, with the age of his previous life, was only in his forties in two lives.

Liu Changgong quickly helped Lou Hongzhi up, and then said to Lou Hongzhi with a serious face, “I’m not an unreasonable person. You don’t have to be my disciple, and you don’t have to be my so-called slave.”

“Senior, please take back your orders, I really…”

“Stop, stop, listen to me first.”

Liu Changgong interrupted Lou Hongzhi’s words and continued, “There’s nothing Senior about calligraphy and painting. I just learned Dao a little earlier than you. If you are willing, I can take you in as a student. How much you learn depends on your own perception. If you feel that you can not learn anything, you can leave at any time.”

When Lou Hongzhi heard Liu Changgong’s words, he was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

“Thank you, Senior, for your help!”

“However, I am not teaching you for free. You have to pay the tuition fee.”

Lou Hongzhi was stunned.

“What is the tuition fee Senior mentioned?”

Liu Changgong took out a jade-like object from the special storage bracelet Yu Hongye gave him.

Liu Changgong thought to himself, a rich family should not lack middle-grade spirit stones. If he asked Lou Hongzhi for middle-grade spirit stones, he would be able to give him a way out.

“This is the tuition fee.”

Lou Hongzhi saw the object in Liu Changgong’s hand and was stunned for a moment. He thought to himself:

‘So Senior wants the Ancient Immortal Jade. However, for a person with such a high level of cultivation like Senior, he probably doesn’t need the Ancient Immortal Jade. Asking me for the Ancient Immortal Jade is probably just to give both sides a way out. However, although I was born in the Central Plains and often encounter ancient cave abodes, and have accumulated a lot of Ancient Immortal Jade, I am only a Dharma Idol cultivator. I just don’t have that much Ancient Immortal Jade. I wonder how much Senior wants?’
